Woah, and I thought I was on a lot (I think I capped myself at 10 on this
account, 5 on another) of lists.

I use procmail/spamassin with Exim as my server. I love procmail and would
never consider using anything else (I'm only a novice user, too, I don't do
any fancy stuff, don't need to). I once even had clamassassin on this box
and used a combo perl script and procmail rule to do incoming virus scanning
(kinda pointless, though, but it cut down on spam).
